If enacted, this bill would amend section 13-3551 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to update definitions related to the sexual exploitation of children. The bill introduces a new definition for "indistinguishable," which refers to a visual depiction that a viewer would reasonably conclude is of an actual minor. Additionally, the definition of "minor" is expanded to include visual depictions that are indistinguishable from an actual minor. The definition of "visual depiction" is also broadened to encompass images created or modified by computer software, artificial intelligence, or other digital editing tools.

The bill would remove outdated definitions and replace them with the new language, ensuring that the statutes reflect contemporary issues surrounding digital and indistinguishable depictions of minors. This modernization aims to enhance the legal framework addressing the sexual exploitation of children in light of advancements in technology and digital media.
